5k Fun Run x Goose Island Beer Co. : 2026 Illinois Brewery Running Series
This is an untimed community 5k fun run that starts and finishes at the Goose Island Taproom in Chicago. The event is part of the 2026 Illinois Brewery Running Series and is organized to coincide with Global Running Day.
Participants may run, walk, or jog a mapped 5k course that shows nearby neighborhood sights. The course is open to traffic, so participants must follow all traffic laws and the clearly marked route. The event includes post-run activities at the brewery such as music, games, giveaways, and partner offerings.
Registration benefits include one craft brew at the finish, a choice of Brewery Running Series swag (collector’s pint glass or a seasonal item), and entry into a prize drawing for merchandise and beer. A portion of proceeds supports local nonprofits; the organizer states that 10% of proceeds will be donated.
Practical details noted by the organizer: a valid ID is required to receive alcoholic beverages; attendees under 21 are eligible for a nonalcoholic beverage instead. The event runs rain or shine and does not offer bag check. Dogs and strollers are allowed with care and subject to Goose Island policies. Refunds are available up to seven days before the event.
